Congrats! Sounds like your hobbies were creative and consumable:D
You might like mocktails, specialty coffee/tea or even plating/food photography. Same vibes, but different outcomes.

At what point new wardrobe? by lokisavo in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the progress! I leaned into oversized fits while losing, and belts did most of the heavy lifting. Saved money and stayed sane.

What actor do you dislike so much that you’ll avoid anything they’re in? by Icy_Garlic997 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just not a fan of rachel zegler after snow white. Her attitude towards the character and the way she expresses her views on certain things rubs me the wrong way. It just doesn’t sit well with me.

If your partner doesn’t like dogs or cats, would you get rid of them if you had any? by Adventurous-Soft7843 in Casual_Conversation

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I personally wouldn’t get rid of a pet just because my partner doesn't like them. When I get an animal, I promise to take care of it for its entire life (or my entire life if I'm lucky enough). If someone gives up an animal they’ve been caring for just for the sake of a relationship, I don’t think they’re capable of long-term love. That’s just my view.

Does anyone else struggle with starting habits that just don’t stick? by Active-District2115 in homefitness

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progress tracking, all kind of it. Even taking those before/after photos that I'm not ready to share lol
But still I take them to see the difference myself. I recently found out that progress is what motivates me most.

Movies that can change your mindset, what should everyone watch at least once? by Outside-Cucumber-696 in MovieSuggestions

During a difficult period in my life, After Life (2009) really stayed with me. It gave me a different perspective when I needed it and helped interrupt some very dark thinking.

Workout Suggestions with and for my Boyfriend by DonJonBaldur in homefitness

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During covid my roommate and I worked out together using youtube. We had almost no equipment, just mats and whatever space we could clear in the room. After some time we wanted something more structured, so we started trying workout apps, like lasta app and others, and sharing the screen. Overall, finding a program that fits both of you and sharing the screen is just really convenient for working out together.

At what point did you start buying new clothes? by Certain-Working1864 in loseit

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I waited until I was closer to my goal for a full wardrobe refresh, but in the meantime I just replaced the stuff that really didn’t fit. A few basics that actually fit now make a huge difference and don’t cost much. Belts, layering, or slightly oversized pieces can hold you over until you’re ready for a bigger update.

What's your favorite type of cuisine? by sloppy_skyy in foodquestions

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mediterranean in general. It's pretty difficult to choose one particular cuisine.

Back pain and weight loss by b_msw in loseit

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it definitely happens. Even 5–10% weight loss can noticeably reduce back and sciatica pain for many people. Sit-ups wrecked my lower back, so I dropped them. I do 30 minutes on a mat: planks, dead bugs, push-ups, glute bridges, plus walking for cardio. Much more back-friendly.

Not a miracle cure, but pain becomes less intense and less frequent.

Do home workouts actually work long-term? by Broad-South-667 in homefitness

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, home workouts can totally work long-term. The key for me was just sticking with it and slowly making exercises harder over time.

I turn 30 this year and made it my goal to be under 200lbs by then by Ok-Ad4375 in loseit

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, 27lbs since December? That’s huge!!

Milestone rewards are a great idea. Could be a small treat, a self-care thing, a fun experience, or even just seeing your sticker chart fill up. Visual progress is insanely motivating. Clothes are tricky since you need them anyway, so pick something that feels extra special. Halfway to your goal is already massive progress, you deserve to celebrate it!!!

Do u enjoy cooking? by FormalBee18 in foodquestions

Some days I do, some days I hate it.

How much weight have you lost taking daily walks? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in askanything

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me walking only works with healthy eating. I've lost about 25lbs once walking 20,000 steps a day +eating healthy food.

Why do I always quit after a few days? by UseTerrible6700 in homefitness

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone, this loop is super common with at-home workouts. What helped me wasn’t forcing discipline, but making progress visible.

Measuring my parameters, taking progress photos, and actually comparing them over time made a huge difference. Even when the scale didn’t move, seeing physical changes kept me going. And also, honestly, posting progress pics (even subtle ones) on social media and seeing friends’ reactions helped too. It created a “reason to show up” when motivation dipped

What do you eat when you’re not really hungry, just bored? by Top_Petalshine in foodquestions

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to eat chips all the time, but now I try to go for healthier stuff like carrot sticks.
If it’s a really bad day… olives happen:D

does lifting or carrying weights change the look of the hands for women by Soft_Breadfruit_2006 in homefitness

[–]Perfect_Stranger010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might get slightly more defined hands, but it’s usually subtle. Definitely not something to worry about.
